THURS. OCT. 5 @ 7PM: The Narberth Bookshop welcomes author LEE KELLY!
With Regrets is equal parts Big Little Lies and Bird Box, a suburban drama wrapped in a 24-hour survival story at the end of the world, perfect for fans of David Koepp's Aurora.
When recent NYC-transplant Liz Brinkley and her husband are invited to an exclusive soiree by their neighbor, “lifestyle guru” Britta Harris-Che, Liz’s immediate thought is hell no. And yet she RSVPs anyway, trying to extend an olive branch to her husband, who seems desperate to get in with the cliquey elite.
They’ve barely made it through their first round of champagne when a “red alert” comes through their phones, and every channel on the television tells the same story: strange atmospheric masses, reported to look like “glimmering clouds,” have been spreading through major U.S. cities and killing anyone they touch. Authorities have just one clear directive: Find shelter. Immediately.

SAT. OCT. 7 @ 7PM: Ru Freeman returns to the Narberth Bookshop for a reading and discussion of her new book, BON COURAGE, a fierce, eclectic, and intimate collection that encompasses the big questions of our time: what we mean by courage, how we define our world, how we choose to exist in it.
Bon Courage is an exhilarating journey through a layered intellectual landscape textured with a range of political and personal enthusiasms, and emboldened by a passionate defense of the disregarded. Ru Freeman brings global perspectives to subjects as diverse as Bowie and Dylan, Palestine, 9/11, hairstyles, personal and cultural identity, motherhood and #MeToo. A resplendent and compendious exploration of great empathy, and insight. Click HERE to RSVP and/or to reserve a signed copy.

SUN. OCT. 8 @ 5PM: A special event with translator Andrew Cassel. He says: "This memoir of the Holocaust is now available for the first time in English. The author, Aharon Pick, was a boyhood friend of my grandfather, back in the ‘old country.’ Pick’s journal, written in the ghetto Nazis set up in his town—Šiauliai, Lithuania— was buried and later retrieved by his son, who took it to Israel in the 1940s, and kept it hidden from the world until 1998. Today the manuscript is in the collection of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. After I learned about it I sought to translate it; the project took several years, and ended up becoming a “capstone”project for my University of Pennsylvania Masters of Liberal Arts degree, received in 2020."
